Two European studies illustrate opportunities and challenges presented by the growing appeal of point-of-care ultrasound to primary care practices.  

Hybrid PET/CT enhanced with intravenous CT contrast deserves wider acceptance and adoption, as diagnostically optimized CT can complement PET—and vice versa—for a variety of potential indications. That’s one opinion on the matter.

The meteoric rise of noncontrast head CT in emergency settings is not explained by the conspicuous proliferation of nurse practitioners and physician assistants in the ED.

Testing AI’s ability to detect carotid artery disease on ultrasound, U.K. researchers have found their algorithm achieved 90% accuracy, along with 87% sensitivity and 82% specificity, at the task.

Mayo Clinic is opening its stores of real-world data from 10 million de-identified patients to a U.S.-based medical technology outfit with 75,000 employees and international reach.

Because cerebral vessels are smaller and potentially more fragile in women than in men, future research into mechanical clot removal for stroke treatment should be “sufficiently powered to detect sex-specific differences in neuroimaging profiles and treatment techniques.”

Established clinical guidelines hold that patients presenting with ankle issues should not receive advanced imaging ahead of standard radiography. New research shows a substantial proportion of ordering clinicians sending these patients straight to MRI anyway.
